Fried Rice

This is always good if you have just a little leftover chicken or pork.  My daughter Megan showed me a few little tricks with this and so it's even easier and better than I used to make it!

Fried Rice

Make rice - 2 or 3 cups cooked - set aside
Chop meat in small pieces (chicken or pork)
1 cup chopped white onion
1 can of diced water chestnuts
1 bunch of fresh spinach
3 eggs
bunch of green onion
sesame seeds
garlic & soy sauce

In a skillet or wok, heat 2 Tablespoons of sesame oil (or whatever you have) with a 1/2 tsp minced garlic and a few splashes of soy sauce.  Add meat (cook if not already), onion, water chestnuts.  As soon as meat is done or warmed through...set aside. Mix and scramble the eggs in a separate pan - stir and chop until very small pieces of egg.  Chop spinach very small also -about 1 1/2 cups of it.  Chop green onion. Put skillet back on heat and add  rice to meat and veggies.  Stir in spinach, egg, green onion and 2 Tablespoons of sesame seeds.  *Scramble eggs and chop everything while rice is cooking and you can put it all together at once.
